AI is consolidating
industries.

We know both sides of the table. Across Europe and North America, Private Equity and VC funds are rapidly acquiring established companies to build AI-powered platforms. We bring the two sides together.

Execution speed and our i5invest network are decisive.

Our belief: PE and VC-backed acquirers are buying established, profitable companies in vertical software, industrial automation, and professional services to embed AI capabilities. This unlocks a step-change in value.

The strategy: combine an existing customer base and domain expertise with an AI layer to create a defensible platform at scale.

What we offer.

For Companies:

You are on the radar of AI-first acquirers.

Established B2B software, industrial automation, and professional services firms with real revenue and customer lock-in are exactly what AI roll-up funds love. We help you understand your strategic value to achieve a premium outcome.

  • Confidential valuation assessment
  • Positioning for AI-driven acquirers
  • Structured, competitive M&A process
  • Cross-border and global buyer coverage

For Funds:

Build your AI platform company faster.

The window to assemble AI roll-up platforms is narrow. We provide proprietary deal flow, qualified targets wrapped around your AI thesis, so your fund moves with the speed and conviction the strategy demands.

  • Curated targets matched to your thesis
  • Proprietary deal flow across 50+ verticals
  • Intermediation and execution
  • Portfolio roll-up advisory
